Are you getting a second blood test done 48 hours after the first? The most important thing is not the number but the doubling time between the two results. So if you get above 20 on the next draw that would be a good sign. And anything above 5 is considered pregnant so you are good today, too.

I had mine taken Wednesday (which is when AF was due) and it was a 16. My doctor was not concerned with the number at all, therefore, I am not either. I will be having another blood test soon to make sure it continues to rise. Best of luck to you and stay positive

My HCG numbers came back very low as well. At 4w5d (by lmp) it was 32 and then went up to 78 at 5w0d. My due date will most likely be pushed back when I go for my 1st u/s. I'm guessing late implantation, since DH and I only dtd once last month.
